I just saw that you are from Michigan too, and I was like hey, this guy's local!
But then I looked up Calumet on the map, and you might as well be in Florida.

For autocross, suspension is where you'll want to spend your time/money. Power isn't much of a deal, the 12a puts out more than enough especially for beginners. I've never lost a race due to a lack of horsepower.

If you're ever up for an eight hour drive, check out the midwest section of this forum. There's a thread stickied at the top of that section where I post all of the Michigan races and events.

Welcome aboard, by the way....
